    NUBM07 on ACS5500BU driver...

    Just got this unit from Jordan. Anyone have any idea why it might be flashing? When I apply power (2-LiIon cells) It flashes at about 1.5-2 hZ. Was hoping someone here had an idea before I go to Jordan. I know he's busy. Thanks, G

    WARNING: To those with Nvidia GPU’s

    That right there...that's sage advice. I, without fail, ghost my drive to an external before changing ANY system files! Been bitten in the ass too many times to fall for that one any more. Thanks for the heads up, Curtis. -G

    Yes Hak...smokeless powder is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS in homemade cannons! Let me repeat that for clarity...SMOKELESS POWDER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN HOMEMADE CANNONS! This shoots very large grain, slow burning, black powder, with an added filler of flour for extra smoke and fire. And it makes ONE...

    A lot of my time has been going into this project...

    ...and I must say, it came out rather well! I've got to pull the barrel one last time for a final powder coat, but other than that...IT LIVES! This shot was only 3/8 oz. of powder, that's as loud as I dare go in the back yard. I have taken it out to the country, and gotten it up to 1 oz. It...

    This is for the machinists members and others that may be interested.

    Yeah. Everyone I show 'em to asks "so, how so they come apart?" 😂 And, you're absolutely correct, there is no practical application for them that I am aware of. For me they are strictly an art piece, and of course...to make people ask how they come apart!

    Nah, guys...I'm not shakin' anyone's monkey tree (Caddyshack?). I really did make that purely on the lathe. As for why...well...ummm...because I have a lathe? And, cylinders get boring? Also, I do not, I repeat...I DO NOT use any kind of hot glue or wax, I consider that cheating. I break 5 sides...

    No GSS, that's a host from a group buy in the last days before SciFi Lasers imploded. I've got three of 'em I haven't done anything with yet. -G

    New MIT developed laser pointing device for CubeSAT's

    I wouldn't think so. This new system is akin to IP targeted ethernet packets as opposed to network-wide broadcasted packets. So unless you're at the targeted receiver, I think you'll be perfectly safe.:cool:

    It's me. I'm the other user. We were trying to finalize a transaction, and all the sudden I stopped getting replies from Zach. Went back and looked and our entire history was gone. Starting a new convo seemed to have worked, only now I see this post and it appears we are running into lost...

    Is a 650/405nm 303 Laser DPSS?

    No. The 650 and 405 are direct diode lasers. No IR is produced. -G
